#Temporary drives exist only in the current PowerShell session and in sessions that you create in the current session.
#Because temporary drives are known only to PowerShell, you can't access them by using File Explorer, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Component Object Model (COM), Microsoft .NET Framework, or with tools such as net use.


#To remove the drive, use this cmdlet:
#Remove-PSDrive -Name $driveLetterMapping
